Power of Ten - short film
Recommended by Emily Teague
Watch Power of Ten. It visualizes your sense of scale and throws the world back at you in sharp, strange angles. It might also make you obsessed with the way design sneaks into everything you thought was normal. Directed by Ray & Charles Eames

As a preteen, I was an assistant in a little children’s art museum in Jackson, Mississippi, that screened this on a loop. It is written on my brain and I love it.

YEAY, classic! If you haven't seen it, you might enjoy the original it's based on as well: https://youtu.be/7f5x_dRKIF4

Thx, I’ll take a look

Let me know if you do. :) Judith Bronowski is key leading figure here. You might also have heard of her dad (Jacob Bronowski), who did "The Ascent of Man".
